Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2675126, member: 1899"] I actually believe it would be in Taylor's best interest to STAY at the Broncos. That isn't exactly controversial given I'm a Broncos fan, but I'd offer the same advice to a Kane Elgey, Jackson Hastings and Drew Hutchinson. In fact, more so Taylor than any of those players... Here's why. For the past few seasons, Taylor has undergone a lot of surgeries which has really stifled his development into a first grade talent. His birth certificate may suggest that he's 20 years old, but in terms of being a Rugby League talent, he's more like 19. If he was to accept an offer from Manly and become their #1 halfback, he would have to accept all that responsibility of turning around a club that just lost the best halves pairing in the competition. Further, he has to trust his coach and can he trust a coach who by rights could be gone by the end of the year? Accepting that deal maybe fantastic in the short term, but in the long term, if Manly fail to make the finals he will the scapegoat and his career could effectively be over at 22 and he becomes just another Brett Seymour or Brett Firman. That's why I think he should follow in the foot-steps of three of the best halfbacks playing in the game - JT, Cronk and DCE. None of these players were superstars at age 20, they all had to serve time in reserve grade, make their marks there and then they got their starting chances at 22, 23 and 21 respectively. Even Trent 'Lesnar' Hodkinson, aka the streak-breaker, won a premiership in Queensland Cup first before he came into notoriety as one of the best clutch players in the game. So stay in Brisbane, make your debut as a Bronco, see what you can achieve and if you're not getting a proper go, leave at the end of 2016 or better 2017. [/QUOTE]
